I once read that many people can't sleep because their bed is used for just about everything - watching tv, writing, reading, etc. What I recommend, aside from soft classical music and keeping a journal for your thoughts, is to only use your bed as a place for sleeping. Don't even sit on it unless you plan on going to sleep. That way "bed" is a place for sleeping, as opposed to a thinking spot. Sort of like tricking yourself into sleeping.

same thing happens to me and in the mornings i usually have some fitness thing to go to ((weight lifting and running stuff)) so i'm always late because i can't get up since i stayed awake until 11 or 12 at night. my advice is try to put on some mood music like the ocean or wind or something. i know it's not a medical problem because i know a lot of people that do the exact same thing. i don't know if i've helped you any because i'm going through the same thing but i sure hope i did. good luck!

Hmmm.. I suppose it COULD be Insomnia. PeRhaps 9:30 is just too eaRly foR you to be hittin' the hay? OR you could tRy sleeping pills??? And yes, counting is good, but doesn't woRk foR me. Honestly, as lame as this is.. I think about being with the peRson I like. And geneRally if I'm thinking sexually about it [which is eveRytime].. it puts me Right to sleep!! hahaha!! TRy it??? ;D

lol. Same thing happens to me. You get so into your thaoughts that you forget about falling asleep. DOnt worry no medical problems, just a very active mind. Try not thinking about guys or anything stressful. Think of blackness, nothing, empty your mind. dont count, trust me!

If you'd like to sleep earlier I have some suggestions that might help you.

1. Stay up for a whole 24 hours if you can. If you can't, I'd try to stay awake for as long as you can, taking a quick nap, and waking up. After a day of no sleep, you'll be awfully tired. Wait until the time you'd like to go to sleep (Like 10 PM or something) and then sleep. You'll sleep like a log and you'll be back on track!

2. Maybe you can't sleep earlier because you're on the computer. When I'm on the computer, I can be on for hours and not feel at all sleepy. You should probably limit yourself from the computer.

3. If you're laying in bed and you can't sleep, maybe it's because you have too much on your mind. If that's the case, take a notepad, and write your thoughts down. Clear your head. In the morning you can go back to those ideas later.

4. Listening to classical or boring music might help. Or you can try any music, actually. Whatever works for you.

5. When you're trying to sleep, don't think about anything. Just clear your mind and concentrate on your breathing. Some people think about being on a rollercoaster, concentrating on the twists and turns. You could also try that, however whenever I try that I end up thinking about how fun it was and then I can't fall asleep. Lol.

6. Try reading. Eventually your eyes will get tired and you'll drift off to sleep.

7. Watch TV. You can put it on sleep mode, so it won't be on all night after you've fallen asleep.

8. Eat something and/or milk. You could also try a warm drink, like tea or hot cocoa. After having a full stomach, you might feel sleepy.

9. Take a walk. After a long walk, you'll feel tired and ready for bed.

I hope things work out for you! =)
